Darby has been making sneaky comments that he is quietly confident of winning. This is totally inappropriate as it is the chairman who will decide whether to sack him or keep him.

The chairman need to consider his reputation if he keeps Darby when there is such a high number of votes against him, even if it has not got over the 50.0% hurdle. if this has not got over the 50% this will be due totally to dodgy deal nissin and darby did together.

The media would be all over this, the share price would sink and sink.

so nobody knows what shares have been lent out.

It was sparked when Oasis Management , the Hong Kong activist hoping to unseat Premier’s chief executive Gavin Darby, said it had increased its stake in the owner of Angel Delight from 9 to 17 per cent as it emerged that an unusually high level of stock in Premier has been lent out.

darby is history, oasis has made sure of it. Will the chairman be sacked as well, not sure if oasis and paulson have voted against him as well.

how quickly can bachelors be put up for sale to get £200m plus into the coffers.

interesting question on trading statement. If this was good then we would have seen the good bits of it already.

They have only mentioned the Kipling shares increase for 52 weeks, 12 weeks and 4 weeks. This is only a recovery from dismal figures around December. Although the spin was to say good increase over 12 weeks and 4 weeks, over 52 weeks the figures is still down, so nothing to write home about.

The rest must be poor. Otherwise they would have been mentioned. Darby was not expecting the shareholder fight back to take back control, otherwise he would have tried to fix the sales by heavy discounting as the first quarter results is only sales and not margins.

Problem would Darby now leave a poison pill on top of bringing in nissin

forgot to include a few votes of the darby lovers brigade who will follow him to 0p a shares and worship him as the next messiah whilst all their money is transfer to darby's bank account.

oasis have warned up darby will go to any extent to self-preserve his job, regarding of the fact he is going to rely on votes of a shareholder who was bought in through the backdoor by darby with dodgy deals and also recommendations of institutions to vote for darby, who themselves have no shares of their own.

Where as real honest shareholders want darby out. would not be surprised if proactive investors were paid by darby using our shareholder funds.

The guy has no morals.

We now need Darby to be handcuffed and given the walk of shame, like they do in the US

contact Halifax and give your instructions to them

The Darby/Nissin plans will now be killed off for good. Hopefully Oasis will report both Nissin and Darby to the regulators once they take back control.

They have gone very quiet given there super hero is about to become burnt toast

oasis virtually eliminates the opposition in the overnight raid, Operation Dessert storm is close to coming to an end with Darby never to be seen again.

wow - they really are serious now

probably no-one turned up. Analysts must be bored with Darby antics where there is no real information but just manipulation of data to make things look better than they are.

The board looks cornered now. Change strategy or die

darby is history now, it is about survival for the rest, they change to keep their jobs

rather than getting the best deal out of McCormick, instead darby wasted at least £14m refinancing, starving the brands of marketing budget due to continuing crippling debt payments, exactly as oasis stated made the company into a zombie investment. Not signs of a skilled ceo, hopefully he is gone on monday.

definitely the chairman needs to go for backing a loosing dead horse. Interesting the analysts day did not contain much about finance which is vital to assess the value of the assets. Also the FD was missing from the visit, is darby trying to side step him to say the FD is not important and can't replace him.

One source said last night that Oasis was confident of achieving 'half the vote or more' – the amount needed to unseat him

premier should have the list, but they are't bothered to find out, according the the last financial report, they have oasis with 9.1 which is wrong. I assume oasis will know, so you can try them
